Weekly Wanderlusting: Egypt

Keeping in tradition of picking a random spot on the map and lusting over it, Egypt is this week’s focus. Everyone, of course, thinks of the pyramids when they think of Egypt, but there is so much more to this fascinating country. I’m going to highlight a few of things that I definitely don’t want to miss when I visit Egypt.

The White Desert is located in Western Egypt in Farafra. This white and cream colored desert has chalk rock formations from the result of sandstorms that make for some amazing photos. I’d love to do an overnight camping safari here in order to see both the sunrise and sunset.

Library of Alexandriawas once one of the largest and most significant libraries of the ancient world, but was destroyed during a fire. The new Library of Alexandria is a commemoration of the old library that was lost. I’m a sucker for libraries, especially one that has such an ancient history.

These are just a few of the places I would love to see in Egypt. Egypt is also supposed to be home to some of the best diving in the world. While, I’m no diver yet, I would love to be by the time I make it here.

What about you? Anything or anywhere in Egypt you’re doing to see or do??
